This year, I'm spending my 4th of July in Florida, but not for what you might expect. Just this past thursday, my Grandpa passed away at the ripe old age of 90 (he was almost 91). So I came down to join those others of us who were close to him for a memorial service. Although it was small, the service was great because it offered each of us to talk about Grandpa and share our stories and memories of him. There was also a great video done by my cousin Charlie, of some pictures of Grandpa and such. It was awesome to get together with this side of my family, seeing as how I haven't seen many of them in years. I got to catch up with my sister too, see my nephew and my nieces, and my cousins.
I'm really happy for my Grandpa because he had such an amazing life. He is probably the only man I have ever known who has so embodied what a true Christian could be, because his actions and his character resembled those of Jesus. My Grandpa was a great man. I hope that I can go through my life the way that he went through his: praising God in everything he did, never saying anything negative about others, and always turning something that could be negative into something positive. I love you Grandpa. Have fun up there :]
